The books takes you to the sea and makes you live the life of an old struggling but resilient fisherman. You cry with him, laugh with him, get tired with him and finally lose your dignity with him. Amazing book. Couldn’t put it down and finished it in 3 hours.
The novel is the story of an old struggling Cuban fisherman Santiago. As the story begins, Santiago hasn’t caught a fish in 84 days and he is seen as the worst form of unluckiness. A young boy is his apprentice Marlin, whom he encourages to work on successful fishing vessels instead of him. What follows is an epic tale of an old fisherman going head to head with a huge marlin fish. Santiago is so determined to catch this fish and he puts all of his strength to make sure the fish doesn’t slip away from him.
